About

The Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre Ltd (AMGC) is an independent, not-for-profit organisation responsible for working with the advanced manufacturing industry to drive cultural change and increase the competitiveness of the sector.

The future of Australian manufacturing lies in developing high tech, high skill, value added products and processes for global markets. Global trade is increasingly being driven by intermediate goods, for example, components and research. There is a growing market for advanced manufacturers that not only create finished products, but add value at every stage within the global supply chain. The AMGC is actively working with industry stakeholders to enable Australian advanced manufacturers to seize these opportunities.

The AMGC team and board all bring significant experience in the sector to their roles.
